The rapper confirmed three dates in Dublin, Paris and London in October and said U.S. dates are on the way as well.
Macklemore announced a three-show "Free Palestine" tour for the end of October on Instagram. The Grammy-winning rapper plans to perform in Dublin, Paris, and London, with all proceeds from the tour going to support Palestinian organizations. Macklemore stated that the shift in public opinion toward Palestinian liberation in the past three years has made it clear that artists must be more politically engaged.
He emphasized that being silent on the issue during a genocide is no longer acceptable. The rapper added that the momentum for change is present and that there is work to be done. Presales for the tour begin on September 28, with general ticket sales opening on September 30.
